This is a project I have been planning since it was announced. I've already=
 started.

I want Ada to have a decent Vulkan binding from the outset and not get left=
 behind like we have with OpenGL (I still need to finish my binding generat=
or for GL!).

I'm still annoyed at AMD for having a Linux driver ready and the Windows dr=
iver is not fully comformant either.

I do think a more collaborative operation would be better, but it needs som=
eone who knows C a bit better to get the ball rolling. Plus there's more th=
at just creating the binding, it has to have all the flags in place for com=
piling for other OSes due to the various window manager extensions.

Luke.
